For those of you who have been following the “greenbelt” zoning kerfuffle, the Hungry Horse News posted a brief report . . .
A new zoning district proposed for county land along highways was unanimously approved by the Flathead County Commissioners on July 27.
As proposed, development in the B-2HG general-business highway-greenbelt zoning district would require mitigation of visual impacts of commercial development, with special attention to setbacks, landscaping and signs.
In the Columbia Falls area, the zoning district could be applied to U.S. 2 and Montana Highways 40 and 206, but it will not affect properties regulated under the Canyon and North Fork neighborhood plans and will not apply to properties within the Columbia Falls two-mile planning and zoning jurisdiction.
